[b47to]

thanks ive been wanting to do it for ages but wasnt sure about MOT

[Krish]

[b47to]

 

[Antony]

i would put some 20mm spacers on th rear, paint your drums black and tint the windows......would look special.

 

[squarepants]

i would put some 20mm spacers on th rear, paint your drums black and tint the windows......would look special.

agreed.

 

[alexm]

god dam lol! you painted your indercators bit aswell i thought you wernt aloud to so i masked it off haha! just waiting for last one to dry i cba taken the one i done off and paint the indercators!

But your car is looking awesome

 

[b47to]

thanks for the comments yeah ive been meaning to paint the drums black again
n i need to get a Job untill i can get windows tinted

with the spacers im not sure as the rear drivers side wheel already catches when i go over a big bump or if people are in the back.

but i agree would look good with 10mm spacers

or 20mm but would i have to mess around with getting longer threads ?

yeah alexm i didnt think you could either then i found out you could so i just did it the other day when i was bored lol

 

[b47to]

even if i fold the arch lip in it would it still scrape if i have 20mm spacers on ? as before i had 205 tyres on the rear n they scraped like mad !!

on the drivers rear

 

[squarepants]

it scrapes on the underside of the arch lip, not the one you can see from outiside so no you would need the archs rolling, not bending..i have known people to hammer the underside of the archs to stop them from rubbing ..saying that i have had 195 tyres scrape the rear arch on the drivers side on country lanes

 

[Robert]

If it's only rubbing on one side, would that not indicate you need an adjustable panhard rod to pull the axle back into alignment?

 

[b47to]

robert that would be it keep an eye out for 1

i think adding spacers would just add more problems even thoe it would look so much better

 

[b47to]

fitted my blue bolts to my rocker cover today (about time) dont know if ive mentioned but my fuel regulator is now hooked up and working
also went and bought a battery today £35 brand new with 3years warrenty from a harrats nissan garage/show room near me ! BARGAIN

well here the pictures i just need to replace some of the rusty blots now ie on the slam pannal and some how clean up the the bay its self

ive also orderd some blue engine bay wire covering kit,just gotta wait for it to arrive see what i can do

with it

 

[squarepants]

i have a blue wire cover kit thing you could have had for free lol.

 

[b47to]

ooo na he tells me lol i might still need it thoe dan ! any ideas on how to clean the firewall easily ? ive tried steam cleaner but its rubbish

or i might just paint it like you did with silver 1 ??

ive just found this picture i neali died

this is how it started

 

[squarepants]

i used super resin polish to clean up the engine bay paint best stuff for it...or hot soapy water with smothing that you wont scratch the paint with.

 

[b47to]

i just found this picture of how my engine bay started i nearly died

ill try it with soapy water like u said if not ill have to search for some of the super duper resin polish

 

[squarepants]

cut down the filter pipe that goes to the rocker cover will look abit tidyer

 

[b47to]

i was thinking about that today actually does look daft dont it lol

 

[squarepants]

yes lol

 

[b47to]

got a little carried away and fitted all the covering kit that arrived today

its a bit in your face but ohwell i like it !!

 

[Pugboxter]

It looks a bit like a load of blue playdo has been squeezed out of the engine to me How about doing it green to match the car?

 

[g2oo8]

looks crazy.. but a good crazy mate

 

[squarepants]

remove the throttle cable cover, will look less cluttered then

 

[b47to]

going in to garage for a full polish tomorrow so hopefully some pictures to follow

 

[daveeeeee]

i really like your car mate. it really makes me angry at nissan when i see k11's like this, just shows what they could of done if they had released a 'hot hatch' turbo model. really liking your car tho mate.

 

[jim_bling]

lovin the car mate pleased another facelift is being modded regards to your filter if you look under the overflow tank for your radiator there is a circle hole there which leads to the front of your car so if you can get a pipeing kit to go through there under your overflow tank then to the filter it would have better cold air feed insted of just over the top of the engine bay will make it look tidier as well

 

[1.3GX]

engine bay looks great

 

[b47to]

thanks for comments daveeeee,1.3gx,jim bling

i wil do that with the pipe,more air the better i suppose
im loveing you car jim bling where did you actually get the bumper kit from ?

@ dave i agree would have been nice to see a turbo k11

factory built

heres some pictures after i had it polished (they dont do the justice )

 

[Pyro]

Youre car looks very nice sir, really love it.

 

[Krish]

Cars Looking MINT! Geeza!

 

[b47to]

thanks for the comments its getting there i just need to save enough to get me windows tinted now :d

 

[squarepants]

the air feed looks out of place as theres a vent in the bumper IMO. looks mega shiney!!!!

 

[b47to]

i know i need to get that sorted with some black mesh then i can position it in the mesh if you get what i mean

 

[b47to]

im still currently looking for a 2000 + micra for the rear wiper motor and arm,the door cards n dial surround still no luck thoe im also thinking about getting a super s bumper on the rear

 

[b47to]

right a bit ov an update ive now fitted my 4 2 1 manifold and down pipe

dissapointed to be honest sounds rubbish more like a rally car or something and not a major difference in power

i have got a 2nd decat so im hoping to put the cat back on and it will sound better hopefully

just a random picture of the front

 

[b47to]

ive still got a thing for preface lifts so im not sure if to get hold of a cheap preface lift turn mine to standard sell it and concentrate on a preface lift in two minds i love the preface lift on the out side but there not as new on the inside so i dont know lol :S

 

[joesouthgate]

wait until you have a years no claims an get a 1.3 if i were you mate.

 

[b47to]

yeah i was thinking about getting a 1.3 declare it sorn and rent a garage like you have and work on it till my end of year for insurance

 

[seanington]

have you not considered doing the windows with tinting film your self ?

i did my side ones with film and the rear with a spray can and it looks pretty decent, only a few bubbles on the first side window as id never done it before and you can pop em with a pin and use hair dryer on em and it minimalises mistakes and its loads cheaper

 

[joesouthgate]

I would always get my windows done proffesionally, its not very expensive but looks 100 times better than home done ones.

 

[b47to]

i have considered it just neva got round to buying the film to try it,but i really am pushed towards a preface lift as i just love how much stuff you can do to them !
